Angelika and Murielle will visit Bratislava for the first time with their unique tango workshop and special unique show during the milonga.

In these workshops, we will discover contemporary dance principles and techniques informed by our practice of yoga, qigong and contact improvisation: body awareness, center work, quality and flow of movement, breathing, connection to the floor, contact with the partner, relationship to the space, improvisation. Our aim is to explore sensations through movement principles (rather than just copying forms) to achieve a clear, precise and personal dance. We will focus on connecting principles of contemporary dance with those of Argentine tango to build up a fine and playfull relationship with our partner. We will give attention to deepening the quality of Argentine tango basics (walking technique, musicality, leading and following, circularity) to achieve more complex sequences and improvisations by the end of the weekend. Systematically changing roles between follower and leader will allow us to have a more sensitive communication and understanding of the partner.

Angelika Thiele and Murielle Elizéon are professional contemporary dancers, choreographers and teachers and have been working and touring since several years in various countries( France, Denmark, Switzerland, Korea, USA, Germany). They met in Theater Freiburg (Germany) in 2009 and created and performed several projects together.
